My nightstand gun is technically my under-the-bed gun. Stevens 311 20 ga. I haven't shot it in a couple of years truth be told. I've always got another within arms reach and it gets shot weekly.

This past weekend, But that was the first time in about 4 years. I somehow have gotten old and don't much enjoy shooting anything larger than a 22 handgun or a 410 long gun. Getting old takes the fun out of a lot of things. But, At the range this past weekend I decided to get my carry permit. Anybody going to laugh if I use a 22 for a carry gun??
I also have a full size M&P as a nightstand gun. It's a 1.0 9mm with Apex trigger and a light. That particular one hasn't been fired since about September of last year but my competition gun is the also a 9mm M&P 1.0 with Apex trigger and it sees about 4-5k rounds per year so I am ok with not shooting the other as often. The AR-15 that sits by the bed is also my around the house varmint gun so it gets shot at least a couple times a month with several trips to the range per year. The 20 gauge 870 that sits by the bedroom door sees the least use at a couple boxes of bird shot once a year at the skeet range or the buckshot it stays loaded with whenever there is an armadillo or coyote in the front yard.

Two days ago, chronographing ammunition. I stuck a Crimson Trace laser on the gun, and now it bangs into my thumb when I shoot.

A couple of months ago. I try to rotate through my weapons somewhat regularly. Sometimes you forget about some haha

Just before the COVID19 crap started.
Hoping it ends soon as neither my EDC or my bedside gun has been fired in about two months, and I am really annoyed by that....

Today!!! I also will be changing my night stand gun. I want to start carrying my XDM 45 acp compact 3.8 on remote hikes. I may also carry it when temperatures are cooler. I will have a 13 round magazine in the pistol at night and a 9 round when hiking with it concealed.

Yesterday the 1911 got a good workout.
I have a police trade in Glock 22 that is my go to handgun 99% of the time. It's my night stand, truck, hiking, do all carry gun.
I have plenty of other choices and shoot all different kinds at the range. Yesterday, when I had to drive downtown to look at a job where there were protesters, broken glass, and plywood covered windows.
I didn't even have to think about it.
Shot it last about two months ago.

Given those situations, I would not have even bothered to go "downtown"
Not me. The 22 Long rifle is a far deadlier round than any 25 or 32 automatic. Almost every mammal on the planet has been put down by a 22.

I keep 3 guns handy as house guns. Since I live in California the law states that if a criminal or a kid breaks into my house and steals my “easily accessible” gun I could be held liable so they are in handgun safes.
Anyway, enough about silliness, the bedside gun and the others get fired and cleaned at least once a month.
My night stand gun is an S&W 327 Night Guard 8 shot .357 loaded with .38 Special Federal HST rounds. My others are a Glock 45 and a Glock 34.
They all went to the range 2 weeks ago. I think they all need to go again tomorrow.

My bedside gun is my G17.
I shoot it every weekend for practice at home, every Monday night at an IDPA match and every fourth Saturday at an IDPA match.
Short answer is quite regularly.
